Landlord Tenant Housing

Post Body

Location is Texas. I am looking for a place to stay and found a studio apartment. Everything looked good so I said I wanted to go ahead and asked them to send me the lease. The very first paragraph says that if the lease is broken I can be evicted at the landlord's discretion and have to vacate within 12 hours. In a later paragraph it says that if rent is late two months in a row I must vacate within 48 hours after receiving notice.

Is this legal? I know that most places have laws that require a 30 day notice before a tenant can be evicted. Can a lease override those laws?
